SCHEDULING MATCHES:

Scheduling each match will be the responsibility of the players. There are no provisions for placement of an official or referee at any of the preliminary matches, but the players are required to consult with the host facility’s management staff to determine if any variances should be applied to the terms of the competition. The tee selection will be by agreement of the competitors. If a proper “request for a ruling” is made by either player, they will refer to the KPGA Director of Competitions for a final interpretation of the rule(s).

A match which is not completed by a scheduled deadline will cause the elimination of both players by default (except when subject to weather conditions on the final day of the deadline period, an extension of one day is allowed). If players in any match cannot schedule a time for the match, either player may default the match with notification in writing to the tournament director, tournament committee chair or the KGA-PGA, Inc. Executive Director within 72 hours of the deadline.
